Main Event
Nick Diaz KO 1 Marius Zaromskis
View CompuStrike Stats
Inside the Numbers: Diaz mixed his attack from head to body vs. the hard-charging Zaromskis, who employed minimal head movement. Diaz, who won the vacant StrikeForce welterweight title, took full advantage of his five inch reach edge to pepper the Dream 10 champion at will, landing 95 of 117 total strikes (81%). Diaz, fighting at a measured pace (for him anyway- remember, he landed 125 of 221 total strikes in round two vs. Scott Smith) mixed in 49 arm strikes (throwing 70- 70%) and 46 knees, thrown from the clinch. Zaromskis did floor Diaz, but could not follow up effectively. A Diaz right hook dropped Zaromskis and the fight was halted at 4:38 of round one. Zaromskis put up good numbers, landing 35 of 98 total strikes, including 23 of 72 (32%) arm strikes. He landed eight leg strikes (six knees and two kicks) but they did not derail the Diaz express.

Inside the Numbers: After absorbing 23 Manhoef strikes, including ten kicks that had him gimping around the cage, Lawler had Manhoef just where he wanted him. Lawler iced Manhoef with a single right hook, then added a right hand to the already unconscious Dutchman for good measure.
Herschel Walker KO 3 Greg Nagy
View CompuStrike Stats
Inside the Numbers: The 47-yr.-old cardio whiz Walker had his way with the overmatched Nagy, outstriking him 77-7. Walker, clearly more comfortable on the mat than on the feet, (although he let several submission opportunities go by) landed 69 of 91 ground strikes vs. Nagy, who spent much of the fight bent like a pretzel.
Jay Hieron W 3 Joe Riggs
View CompuStrike Stats
Inside the Numbers: Hieron easily outworked Riggs in rounds one and two, building up a 83-24 edge in strikes landed. It was one strike at a time for Riggs, who got off just 55 attempts in the first two frames to 113 for Hieron. Riggs stunned Hieron with a right hook in the third, but Hieron scored a takedown (he had one in each round) to stall Riggs’ attack.
